493 - Caleb Whitlock: The Scene in Charlotte, Eyes on Nashville, Maximizing a Small/Simple Home Studio, Financial Literacy

Working Drummer

Caleb Whitlock grew up in Charlotte and has been based there for two years after having attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He tours nationally with singer/songwriter Ethan Regan, plays locally with a variety of acts, records in his home studio, and also works as a post-production engineer.

• Making part of his living doing post-production and editing, and how that differs from mixing
• How doing post production on acapalla vocal music has influenced how he hears and records drums
• Neutralizing his room acoustically rather than try to make it sound amazing
• The Charlotte scene and how he returned to it after college, a couple years of work in "The Triangle" (Raleigh/Durham Chapel Hill), and a few months in a Catholic monastary.
• Being clear-eyed about finances, how much different types of work earn, and saying yes and no to gigs according to your lifestyle goals
